Maintaining the transactional history of any user is very important. Explore the various session
tracking mechanism (Cookies, HTTP Session).
Procedure
1.create a folder(name= node js server)
2.open new terminal and write the following commands
*npm install express
*npm install cookie-parser
npm install express-session
npm session-file-store
3.create a new file with name nn.js and type the following code
function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
const d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
let expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
}
function getCookie(cname) {
let name = cname + "=";
let ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(let i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
let c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
c = c.substring(1);
}
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie() {
let user = getCookie("username");
if (user != "") {
alert("Welcome again " + user);
} else {
user = prompt("Please enter your name:", "");
if (user != "" && user != null) {
setCookie("username", user, 365);
}
}
}
Now open a html file (1.html) and write the code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function setCookie(cname,cvalue,exdays) {
const d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
let expires = "expires=" + d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
}
function getCookie(cname) {
let name = cname + "=";
let decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
let ca = decodedCookie.split(';');
for(let i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
let c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
c = c.substring(1);
}
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie() {
let user = getCookie("username");
if (user != "") {
alert("Welcome again " + user);
} else {
user = prompt("Please enter your name:","");
if (user != "" && user != null) {
setCookie("username", user, 30);
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="checkCookie()"></body>
</html>
